In addition to drinking enough water and limiting salt, some fruits eaten after meals not only help with dessert, but also support natural kidney cleansing.
Apple
Apples contain a lot of soluble fiber (pectin) which helps reduce cholesterol and limit the formation of kidney stones. In particular, the potassium content in apples is moderate, suitable for people who need to control kidney function. According to the National Kidney Foundation (USA), eating an apple a day can help eliminate toxins and reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease.
Pineapple
Pineapple is notable for its anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain, which is rich in vitamin C, which helps fight oxidation. Pina is an ideal fruit for people who want to support their urinary system, says Dr. John P. Higgins, a clinical nutritionist at the University of Texas (USA). Supplementing pineapple after meals helps stimulate digestion and reduce the burden on the kidneys. In addition, pineapple also helps limit edema - one of the common signs in people with impaired kidney function.
Viet kumquat
blueberry is considered a good food for the kidneys thanks to its anthocyanin content, a powerful antioxidant compound. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that regular consumption of blueberries helps improve blood circulation, preventing kidney cell damage caused by free radicals.
Nutritionists recommend that these fruits should be consumed in moderation, combined with a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water for optimal results. From familiar desserts, kidney care has become simple and easy to maintain in daily life.
